The plans for the Russian Antarctic Expedition and the parameters of its activities for 2018–2022 have been approved. The new plan is similar to the 2013–2017 expedition and aims to expand Russia’s presence in the Antarctic. In 2018–2019, there will be 110 members of the Russian Antarctic Expedition without counting the ship and aircraft crews; starting from 2021, there will be 125 people on the winter staff and 120 people on the seasonal staff. The plan envisages that the number of the Antarctic stations will be the same as in 2017 until 2020, and starting with 2021, another station (Russkaya) will be added to the all-year stations…
Now you gone and done it….I have said before, do not get the Russian woman involved. They run the country. When they get grouchy? The men have no choice but to defend them…

Sveta and I travel a bunch and or have traveled at times a bunch. We plan om traveling even more and that is to various parts of the world. China is one place that we have a desire to go to. Svetochka is even learning Chinese, just to go to China…
This morning I was thinking how, in many of our travels, us white type people (I consider European descendant whites as the type I am talking about. I am German/English.) are very much a minority. Even in a city like Tallinn, Estonia, the whites are outnumbered by immigrants and tourists. The last time I was in Estonia, thousands and thousands of Chinese were all over the place in Tallinn. They over ran the whole system, politely, but still groups of a hundred at a time, with three or four groups visible at a time, overruns a system set up for smaller groups…
It does not matter if they all live there. Some will, some won’t and it just got me thinking…
I find the same issue at the Russian railway stations. I hop a train and find myself amongst thousands of Chinese tourists, all with cameras and smiles on their faces…
They are polite and good people, better than I can say about some others I see….then I looked up population spread across the world. I found something that was interesting. Whites are starting to become a dying breed…
We may have circumvented the globe at one time, but our breeding habits are lacking compared to most other groups on earth. This has not always been this way. But we have become this way…
I am seeing this passed around…>>
I agree that we have at least this many skin colors. Not sure about the percents, but I see lots of data to support such thinking as these numbers…
Globally in 1900 whites were 35% to 40% of the world population…
2010 or so about 20% is white…
In 2050 whites will be in single digits of the total world population, about 9% of the total…
I don’t know?
I am not a scientist that can have the funds to do such a study, but I travel. Sveta and I travel and see a changing world. The world has changed tremendously, just in the last 10 years that Sveta and I travel…
I will just say; us white people need to get on the band wagon and have a few more babies! (Does that make me racists?) 🙂
Or is it too late?
I find it interesting…

Russia, China and Iran (and many many more countries in the world) are biding their time. Everyday that goes by, the Western Empire weakens that much more, that much more debt is pilled up and the moral structure rots a little more…
Time is the factor to look at…
Paul Craig Roberts has it pretty accurate and the actions of the opposed will only bring more of the same. But, when facing a psychotic crazy person, who has nothing to loose. You must weigh and measure the reactions against their actions. If that psycho is a 1000# bully? You must wait until the time to strike is perfect…
Then and only then will you rid yourself of that psycho bully…
Until then, wait we must…

A pedestrian dry fountain will open at the Luzhniki sports complex. During the day, it will work in a “dancing mode”, with water jets of various heights shooting from underground, some slower, some faster, resembling a waltz. After nightfall, the water’s dancing steps will be illuminated by a colorful light show. The fountain will be turned on for the first time after the 2018 FIFA World Cup opening ceremony.
Tidbit of information: there are at least 594 fountains in Moscow…

Senior citizens are offered help in improving their health and acquiring new knowledge.
Almost 50,000 citizens have already turned out for enrichment activities under the Living Longer in Moscow project. People can take up sport or dancing and attend creative studios, lectures, language courses or computer classes that are available in all districts across the city
Over 79,600 people have applied to take part in the project. Senior citizens in the east of Moscow are the most enthusiastic of all, with 17,605 residents of the area looking to join the project, including 11,012 people who have already started to attend courses under the programme.
In the south of Moscow, 9,111 people have applied for the pilot project, including 4,449 people who have already started to attend courses. Overall, in the Southeastern Administrative Area, 8,353 people have applied, including 5,699 people who have already joined the programme.
The situation in the other administrative areas is as follows: 8,662 applications were filed in the Northeastern Administrative Area; 7,776 applications in the Northern Administrative Area; 6,836 applications in the Northwestern Administrative Area; 5,057 applications in the Western Administrative Area; 4,775 applications in the Central Administrative Area; 5,152 applications in the Southwestern Administrative Area; 3,594 applications in the Zelenograd Administrative Area; and 2,717 applications in the Troitsky and Novomoskovsky Administrative Area. The number of people who are already attending the classes, by administrative area, is as follows: 5,027 people in the northeast; 4,985 people in the north; 4,564 people in the northwest; 2,644 people in the west; 3,276 people in the centre; 3,568 people in the southwest; 2,122 people in Zelenograd; and 1,612 people in Troitsk and Novomoskovsk.
The activities cover three key areas: sport, leisure and creativity, and advancement in education. All lessons are free. Training has already started in 2,873 groups. Another 1,276 groups are also being formed now to include a total of 17,123 people.
Training courses cover a variety of physical activities, from Nordic walking to gymnastics and special sport programmes. The project also features the Learning to Stay Fit courses, where experienced doctors will give advice on a healthy lifestyle and correct diet and how to take care of their health.
Creative studios offer city residents dancing, singing and drawing lessons, as well as lessons in ornamental and applied art. Older people are invited to attend English-language or computer literacy courses.
Launched by Sergei Sobyanin, the project is not confined to classes; participants in the project will have an opportunity to test their skills in competitions and festivals that will be held in their districts and areas, as well as in the city format. These will include the Super Granny and Super Grandpa festivals and the Say No to Your Age dancing marathon.
Old-age pensioners, or women who are at least 55 years of age and men who are at least 60 years of age, are invited to join the project if they have permanent residence in Moscow by submitting an application to any local social services centre; those interested must produce their passport, individual insurance account number in the pension insurance system and Moscow resident social card. Social services centres offer information on the schedule of classes, so people can choose the time that is convenient for them. The groups are being formed in all districts across the city on the basis of residents’ preferences.
Maybe they will let me join?

I would stock a couple of whiskey stills and stock copper tubing. You could do much worse than making moonshine:
Gold is important and the future rich will be physical gold and other precious metal holders. Physical as in hand and available. Paper as in money will be worthless. Other metals such as platinum and silver will be worth their weight in gold also, but in my world, the person that can make good alcohol is going to be wealthy, as in well fed. The one thing worth more than gold, diamonds and silver will be a good stiff drink. That is when the SHTF…
This is true no matter where you live…
The one thing I have seen, from Vietnam (Budweiser was our god, when they air dropped pallets of beer) to America, to Mexico, to Canada, to Britain and all the way to Russia. That person that can pull out a jar of pure crystal clear moonshine, has any price he wants. I grew up with this fact and have watched such a phenomenon even in the Tiny Russian Village…
Most of the time it is bartering that gets the moonshine, but always the moonshiner gets something of value, and I have seen people trade weapons and ammunition for a gallon jug of moonshine…
My grandpa sold moonshine off the back of the wagon as we sold milk and eggs to the locals. That was the one substance I could not touch as a little kid. Grandpa would deal solely with people for the best moonshine around. Forget milk and eggs, moonshine rules the roost…
It dawned on me (When four and five years old,) that many people would take a drink of the hard stuff over food almost any day…
It is not hard to make moonshine, but it is hard and it is an art to make “good” moonshine…
How true:
In primitive society, man produced directly for the satisfaction of his own wants, but with the development of society came differentiation of function; exchange and barter arose, various trades sprang up, and with the necessity of commercial intercourse came the invention of money. – Charles A. Beard
Bartering is endless and priceless:
From the arrowhead maker for the village, the doctor who took chickens as payment and that babushka who makes the smoothest moonshine in the county. Bartering will always be there and if you make a product that is in demand, you will never starve…
That is all you should actually ask out of life….the rest is all trimmings on the windows…

This just in:
1941, Pearl Harbor was not an “Act of War”, it was just a limited precision airstrike with “No Boots” on the ground…
So all was actually acceptable!
Right?
